Download or read book The Eye of Jade written by Diane Wei Liang and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mei is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary. One day, ‘Uncle’ Chen - no relation but a close friend of her mother’s - comes to Mei with a case to investigate. He asks her to find the Eye of Jade, a Han dynasty artefact of great value. The Eye of Jade was taken from its museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution when Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying many remnants of the past. Mei’s investigations reveal a story that has far more to do with the past, and her own family history, than she could ever have expected. This story forces her to delve into that dark part of China’s history, Mao’s labour camps and the countless deaths for which no-one was ever held responsible. It exposes the agonising choices made during the Revolution, to kill or be killed, to love or to live. Eye of Jade is a fascinating glimpse of city life in modern China. Liang captures vividly Beijing’s bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars to the splendour of the Forbidden City. Through a rich cast of characters including immigrant workers and government officials, she examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China’s brutal communist past and its increasingly capitalist present.

Book excerpt: In this World Fantasy Award-winning novel of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. *Named one of TIME's Top 100 Fantasy Books Of All Time ​* World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, winner Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- and of Kekon itself. Praise for Jade City: "An epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book." --Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author "A beautifully realized setting, a great cast of characters, and dramatic action scenes. What a fun, gripping read!" --Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author "An instantly absorbing tale of blood, honor, family and magic, spiced with unexpectedly tender character beats." --NPR The Green Bone Saga Jade City Jade War Jade Legacy

Book excerpt: Seeking redemption? Confront the darkness that pulses in your chest. Dyreah feels the temptation to look back, to glance over her shoulder. In the end, she resists and refrains from doing so. She knows that from that cave, from that tomb carved into the rock, no one has escaped. No one but her. No one else alive. Suddenly deprived of company, Dyreah embarks on a solitary journey, without fear gripping her chest, nor courage infusing strength into her being. The Orb of Eternal Light, a key piece in her quest for absolution, weighs like a cold slab in her lap. Now that she has recovered it, she fails to understand what is expected of her. Should she return it to its place of origin? How can she do that if she doesn't know the location of the land of her ancestors? The fabulous Aeral. Now, a demonic realm. While making a decision, Dyreah will return home, to the man who throughout her life claimed to be her father; the same man who kept that lie alive for all those years. Terribly distressed and with clouded judgment, the half-elf will take a dark path that will lead her to explore the darkest corners of her soul. However, it will be a chance encounter that changes her destiny forever. Naamari is the second of the three volumes that make up the epic fantasy novel Jade Eyes.
